Huskerpapa Posted July 27, 2019 Report Posted July 27, 2019 Pretty underwhelming. But hey, it is all relative, right? Quote
hhcmatt Posted July 27, 2019 Report Posted July 27, 2019 Here is the game He plays Q1 6:13 to Q2 9:18 Q3 10:00 to 5:35 Q4 :50 He's #0 (that's a picture of him shooting before you hit play on the video) He got call for an unsportsmanlike for falling over a guy trying to block a shot but it looked a lot more awkward than intentional. He seems comfortable guarding guys on the perimeter and seems like he runs the court well. Both his shot attempts were good looks that just didn't fall. Had a ball where he was posting up, didn't have a shot, and threw it out to an open teammate across court instead of forcing it. His role seemed to be mover/blocker so I wouldn't expect a lot of scoring from him unless the French feel like pounding the ball inside some game is a key or if he gets fed on the break. Doesn't look explosive at all and disappointing in terms of his rebounding ability. Not real quick. Most of his minutes came when the game was yet to be decided though if Fiba rank means anything Slovenia is so-so. We'll see how he looks tomorrow and how much PT he gets vs a higher rated Greece Handy Johnson and HolyBobpilgrimage 1 1 Quote
Handy Johnson Posted July 28, 2019 Report Posted July 28, 2019 This kid’s gonna be scary good with some “real” coaching, playing with better teammates & just natural maturation (ie man muscles) We need to remember he’s not even 18, won’t be surprised if he gets the most buzz coming out of Italy HolyBobpilgrimage 1 Quote
jayschool Posted July 28, 2019 Author Report Posted July 28, 2019 No "Freaks" on this Greek squad. France up 31-13 early in second quarter. Ivan Ouedraogo with three strong boards, a travel and a missed three-footer after an offensive rebound. Has played about six minutes. Quote

jimmykc Posted July 29, 2019 Report Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) I don't see anyone on his list of offers yet that we can't hang with and they all have only medium interest. If we could get him to take an interest, it would firmly establish a "French Connection" which would not be bad, N'est-ce Pas?

Swan88 Posted July 29, 2019 Report Posted July 29, 2019 Lots to like about Yvan in the Latvia video. He’s a tough and quick defender—can control his man, both down low and out front. He’s a load for defenders in the post with the ball in his hands—moves well to create an opening and still finds the open man with a good pass. Quote

Which means that if he's wearing a shirt that reads "Nebraska," he'll have to be super-stationary when he's setting a pick — and that might not always be good enough. Norm Peterson 1 Quote

Swan88 Posted July 30, 2019 Report Posted July 30, 2019 Or, perhaps, the Wisconsin’s JV reference means that everyone on Latvia’s team looks like a cousin to Thorir Thorbjarnarson? jayschool 1 Quote
